Respectfully Sheweth:-
1. That the titled suit having been filed for recovery of Rs. 101,391,028.14 as
outstanding on 30-06-2005 is pending adjudication before this Honourable Court
since 01-10-2005. Titled suit has been filed by the Plaintiff for recovery of the
above amount through sale of mortgaged/charged properties, hypothecated and
pledged stocks as well as enforcement of personal/corporate guarantees by the
Defendants
2. That on receipt of notices of the titled suit, Defendants filed separate applications
for leave to defend the titled suit (PLAs) as per details below. Plaintiff also filed
replies of the said PLAs:
I. PLA No.42-B/2005 by the Defendant No.1,
II. PLA No.43-B/2005 by the Defendants No.2 to 4,
III. PLA No.44-B/2005 by the Defendant No.5, and
IV. PLA No.45-B/2005 by the Defendants No.6 to 9.
3. That Defendant Nos. 2 to 4 as well as the Defendant Nos. 6 to 9 have been sued in
capacity of guarantors as they stood as guarantors by executing personal
guarantees and repayment/ corporate guarantees respectively in favour of the
Plaintiff Bank in consideration of the financial facilities extended to and availed
by Defendant No.1 from the Plaintiff Bank. Similarly, the Defendant No.5 also
mortgaged his property/assets with the Plaintiff as security for the facilities that
are subject matter of the titled suit. Therefore, the Defendant No. 5 has also been
sued in capacity of mortgagor having mortgaged its properties as security for the
facilities that are subject matter of the titled suit. Therefore, the Defendants Nos. 2
to 9 are also liable for the suit amount and as prayed for in the Plaint a decree is
also liable to be passed against them through sale of their properties whether
mortgaged or not.
4. That on the basis of admissions made by the Defendant No.1, through the
judgment dated 27-11-2006, this Honourable Court was pleased to pass an interim
Decree in favour of the Plaintiff and the Defendant No.1 for Rs.50,199,692.69. It
is further submitted that while passing the aforesaid interim Decree dated 27-11-
2006, this Honourable Court was also pleased to fix 06-12-2006 for further
arguments on PLAs. It is submitted that for one reason or the other it has not
proved possible to conclude arguments on the aforesaid PLAs even after the lapse
of twenty eight months. Over this period of twenty eight months the Plaintiff
Bank has made every effort possible to enable adjudication of the aforesaid PLAs
but adjournments sought on behalf of the Defendants have frustrated this effort.
5. That over the past twenty eight months after passing of the interim Decree dated
27-11-2006, no payment whatsoever has been made to the Plaintiff/Applicant
Bank despite the fact that a large undeniable liability of the Defendants qua the
Plaintiff Bank exists. This liability will survive in large measure even if all
contentions made in the aforesaid PLAs were to be accepted, of which there is
little possibility.
6. That for execution of the aforesaid interim Decree dated 26-11-2006, Plaintiff, on
06-02-2007, also instituted an execution petition being Execution Petition No.4-
B/2007 but the interim Decree dated 26-11-2006 could not be executed and no
amount there under could be recovered by the Plaintiff due to successive
objections and delaying tactics adopted by the Defendants. It is submitted that
through the Objection Petition No.7-B/2008 filed in the aforesaid execution
petition, the Defendant No.1 has raised objections to the execution of the interim
Decree dated 26-11-2006, inter alia, on the grounds that till disposal of the
aforesaid PLAs, the properties of the Defendant No.1 could not be sold as it
would tantamount to sale of the properties without judicially deciding the case. It
is submitted that the above assertion by the Defendants is totally against the law
as under section 11(2) of the Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances)
Ordinance of 2001 (“the Ordinance”), an interim decree, for all purposes
including appeal and execution, is a decree under the Ordinance. Therefore, the
aforesaid interim Decree dated 26-11-2006 can be executed without final disposal
of the aforesaid PLAs.
7. That it is submitted, however, that the titled suit has been filed for recovery of
Rs.101,391,028.14 but as stated in para 4 above, the aforesaid interim Decree
dated 26-11-2006 was passed only for the sum of Rs.50,199,692.69 admitted by
the Defendant No.1 to be its outstanding liability. Therefore, as the huge amount
of the Plaintiff is struck up, it will be in the interest of justice and equity if the
aforesaid PLAs mentioned in para 2 above are dismissed and the titled suit is
decreed for the full suit amount of Rs.101,391,028.14 against all defendants as
prayed for in the Plaint.
In view of the above facts, it is respectfully prayed that the aforesaid PLA No.42-
B/2005 by the Defendant No.1, PLA No.43-B/2005 by the Defendants No.2 to 4, PLA
No.44-B/2005 by the Defendant No.5 and PLA No.45-B/2005 by the Defendants No.6 to
9 may kindly be rejected and the suit of the Plaintiff Bank may kindly be decreed against
all the Defendants.
Any other order deemed fit and proper may also kindly be passed by this
Honourable Court.

only to pay the outstanding markup as on 30-06-2003 amounting to Rs.10.638
Million against the Running Finance and Rs.18.163 Million against the Cash

wrongly disputing the amount of the aforesaid outstanding markup etc. As the
objections raised in the aforesaid letter dated 27-09-2003 were totally wrong, the

only to pay the outstanding markup as on 30-06-2003 amounting to Rs.10.638
Million against the Running Finance and Rs.18.163 Million against the Cash

Defendants not only failed to complete the required documents but also vide letter
dated 27-09-2003 (Annex- L/8) refused to accept the aforesaid sanction advice by
wrongly disputing the amount of the aforesaid outstanding markup etc. As the
objections raised in the aforesaid letter dated 27-09-2003 were totally wrong, the

PRELIMINARY SUBMISSIONS/OBJECTIONS:
1. The Application for leave to defend filed by the Defendant completely fails
to comply with mandatory provisions of law as per Section 10 of the
Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 (hereinafter

reproduced below for ready reference:
“(4) In the case of a suit for recovery instituted by a financial institution the application for leave to defend shall also specifically state the following:

2. As per this mandatory provision of law the Defendant was required to state
the amount of finance and other amounts relating to finance payable by the
Defendant and the amount, if any, which the Defendant disputes.
In the lengthy application for leave to defend this mandatory provision of
law has been completely ignored. The requirement with regard to
information as required to be provided by sub-section 4 has not been
complied with. In such a situation sub-section 6 of Section 10 lays down
that the Application for leave to defend shall be rejected. Sub-section 6 is
reproduced below for ready reference:
“(6) An application for leave to defend which does not comply with the requirements of sub-section (3), (4) where applicable and (5) shall be rejected, unless the defendant discloses therein sufficient cause for his inability to comply with any such requirement.”
Since the Application for leave to defend has not complied with the

year claimed by the Defendant Company.
18-10-1999. Leaving the amount of 25% covered by
Insurance Guarantees the Bank Guarantees to the tune
of Rs.260.569 Million were called upon by Customs
authorities and encahsed.
05-06-2000. CA/ 903/999 “Diamond Industries Vs.
Federation of Pakistan”. “Status quo is maintained as
regards recoveries and encashment of Bank Guarantees.” The
Defendant No.6 (Diamond Industries Limited) suppressed the
fact from the Supreme Court that the Bank Guarantees had
been encahsed earlier.
Nothing was done after this order. Even this order
related to one time rebate of 25% on goods imported during
one year only.
The Defendant No.6 has executed documents for this
amount and made part payment. It is estopped from
questioning the encashment of Bank Guarantees.
d) No loss to Defendant No.6 on account of encashment of Bank
Guarantees. The Defendant No.6 had raised some claims with
regard to the concessions available to it with reference to the
Gadoon Amazai benefits/concession granted by the
Government of Pakistan. Out of the above amount the
Defendant No.6 has received a rebate of Rs.63.00 Million. It
will or might have got further amounts on account of rebate if
entitled under the law. If not found entitled then the amount
paid to the Customs Authorities as a result of the encashment
of the above Bank Guarantee would be a valid discharge of its
liability. In either case there is no question of any loss to the
Defendant No.6 on this account. To reiterate, if the Defendant
No.6 is entitled to any further rebate, it will get the refund and
if not the amount paid on account of encashment of Bank
Guarantees on its behalf would be in the discharge of its
liabilities. The Defendant No.6 can therefore have no
grievance and cannot lay any claim on the Plaintiff Bank in
this behalf.
THIS IS A CASE OF ADMITTED LIABILITY.
A. It is admitted by the Defendant No.6 that the guarantees to the
extent of Rs.264,881,541.00 furnished by the Plaintiff Bank
on behalf of the Defendant No.6 were encashed by the
Customs Department (the admitted amounts are
Rs,264,881,514.00. A letter dated 25-06-2003 by the
Defendant Company to the Secretary SBP Committee was
itself attached at page 199 of its Application for Leave to
Defend in C.O.S No.18/2005). As admitted by the Defendant
No.6 in its letter No.DG/02/240 dated 14-09-2002 addressed
to the Plaintiff Bank (at page 210 (Annex-N/8) of the
Application for Leave to Defend in C.O.Sno. 18/2005), the
amount is Rs.265.959 (M).
With this admitted position the liability of the Defendant
No.6 is obvious and clear.
B. The position regarding the orders passed by the Honourable
Supreme Court of Pakistan is further explained below. The
entire case of the Defendant No.6 before the Supreme Court
was with regard to one time rebate of 25% on the value of the
raw material imported for the period preceding one year of
the withdrawal of notification SRO 517(I)/89 dated 03-06-
1989.
This position is clear from the order dated 18-02-1999
passed by the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan which
was annexed as Annex-B/1 at page 30 of the application for
Leave to Defend in C.O.S No.18/2005. For the sake of ready
reference the order is reproduced below in full.
“The Learned Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Irfan Qadir and Mr. K.C. Sabir. The learned counsel contends that in team of ECC decision, dated 31-03-1992, petitioners were entitled to at least one time rebate of 25% on the value of raw material imported for the period preceding one year of the withdrawal of notification SRO No.517(I)/89 dated 03-06-1989. It is an admitted position that the notification was withdrawn on 09-05-19991. Therefore, prima facie, the appellants/petitioners are entitled to the rebate in customs duty in terms of the above ECC decision.
I am, therefore, inclined to grant stay against encashment of bank/insurance guarantee to the extent of the amount which the petitioners are entitled as rebate on custom duty in terms of the above ECC decision. The bank guarantee may not be encashed upto the extent of that amount. The petition for leave to appeal may be fixed in court as soon as the copy of the order of High Court is made available by the party thereof.”
C. It will kindly be observed that the encashment of
bank/insurance guarantees was stayed only to the extent of
the amount to which the Defendant No.6 was entitled as
rebate on duty i.e. one time rebate of 25% on the value of raw
material imported for the period preceding one year from
withdrawal of notification SRO 517(I)/89 dated 03-06-1989.
The guarantees were got encashsed by the Collector of
Customs accordingly and in strict compliance with the order
of the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan. The case was
finally decided on 25-06-2004 vide judgment of the
Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan placed on record as
Annex-B/2 at page 31 of the documents attached with the
Application of Leave to Defend in C.O.S No.18/2005. The
first paragraph of this order which specifies the point
involved the in Appeal is reproduced below for ready
reference.
“This appeal by leave of the court is directed against the judgment dated 10-02-1999 of a Division Bench of the Peshawar High Court through which Constitutional Petition No.1415 of 1997
filed by the appellant for grant of one time relief of 25% of the total duty value of the raw materials on the basis of the similar criteria and formula applied in the case of two other industries namely M/s Alkhair Gadoon and M/s Khyber Plastic Industries has been dismissed.”
Paragraph 23 of the judgment dated 25-06-2003 is also
reproduced below for ready reference:
“23. For the foregoing, this appeal is accepted, decisions already made by the respondents in the matter of determination/assessment of one time compensation in the case of the CBR are hereby declared to be without lawful authority and of no legal effect and quashed. The Member Central Board of Revenue is hereby directed to decide afresh the case of the appellant as regards one time relief of 25% to the total duty value of the raw materials on the basis of the same criteria and the parameters applied in the case of M/s Alkhair Gadoon and M/s Khyber Plastic Industries and full benefit should be given in the light of the observations and the facts noted above. As the matter has already been delayed, the needful shall be done within one month from the receipt of this judgment.”
No Bank guarantees were encashed after the date of
this order. The only point of controversy between the
Defendant No.6 and the Customs Department was with regard
to the determination of one time rebate of 25% admissible to
the company. The balance 75% had to be paid in any case.
The Bank Guarantees were for the entire amount of the claim
by the Customs Authorities for good imported.
D. At one stage, the order was passed by the Collector of
Customs determining their entitlement and they received a
sum of Rs.63.00 Million on that account. The disputed
quantum of rebate admissible to them was the matter to be
decided by the customs authorities. If they are found entitled
to any amount it will reimburse to them, beyond that they
would have to pay to the Customs Authorities and the bank
guarantees were encashed accordingly.
E. It is submitted that no valid dispute could be raised by the
Defendant No.6 with regard to the encashment of the bank
guarantees. If it is found entitled for re-imbursement as per
the order of the Court, that has been/would be (may be
already done) given to it and the bank guarantees encashed in
this behalf would be a valid discharge of its liabilities. Any
hue and cry on this point is wholly unreasonable and is almost
rabble rousing.
F. When the encashment of guarantees is admitted on the basis
submitted in the preceding paras, it is therefore admitted
liability of the Defendant No.6, part of which paid and
furnished securities for the amount. The contempt application
filed by the Defendant No.6 also failed. The order dated 15-
10-2002 by the Supreme Court of Pakistan is placed on the
file of the Application for Leave to Defend in C.O.S 18/2005
at page 190). This further clarifies that the dispute was only
with regard to one time rebate of 25% on the goods imported
while the Bank Guarantees had been furnished for the entire
amount of customs duty etc. demanded by the Collector
Customs. The encashment of Bank Guarantees to the extent
of 75% could not have been disputed.
17. Contents as stated are denied word by word and line by line. It is denied
that the Defendant No.1 had rejected terms of sanction letters dated 05-10-
2002 or 12-09-2003. As stated in paras 12 & 13 of the plaint, Defendant
No.1 availed the facilities that were approved through the said sanction
advices. Therefore, all allegations contained in para under reply are denied
and for this purpose contents of paras 12 & 13 of the plaint are reiterated.
18. Contents as stated are denied word by word and line by line. Therefore, all
allegations contained in para under reply are denied and for this purpose
contents of paras 12 & 13 of the plaint are reiterated.
19 to 25.
All assertions, allegations and points raised in paras under reply do not
relate to the subject matter of the titled suit. Matter of the settlement under
BPD Circular No.29 of 2002 is subject matter of C.O.S No18/2005 that is
also pending before this Honourable Court. However, correct facts are
given below briefly to repel and deny the assertions in para under reply;
a) The case was taken by the Defendants directly to SBP was with
regard to the encashment of Bank Guarantees (explained above in
details). A copy of the circular is enclosed as Mark-A with this
Reply. This circular does not permit a write-off of the liabilities as is
clear from paragraph 6 and 7 of the Circular reproduced below:
“6. Before allowing write-off, all liquid assets including FDRs, Government Securities. Share Certificates etc. held under lien and pledged goods should be realized and sale proceeds thereof appropriated towards the reduction of outstanding liability of the borrower. This should be legally cleared by the bank/NBFI’s legal counsel.
7. The latest valuation of properties/stocks held as security having value of Rs.2.5 million and above indicating their present market value as well as their forced sale value duly assessed by a surveyor/architect, on the approved panel of Pakistan Bank’s Association (PBA), should be produced before the approving authority.”
b) Other provisions of this circular will be brought to the notice
of this Honourable Court at the time of arguments. Where the
amount exceeds Rs.25.00 lacs, provision is made under the
heading of ‘Category-C’ of the Circular which speaks of
‘Forced Sale Value’ which is to be determined by an
independent professional valuer who should be listed on the
panel of valuers maintained by Pakistan Bank’s Association.
Nothing of the sort was done in the present case and the
Defendant No.6 without any basis tried to bring its case
before the Committee of the State Bank of Pakistan. The said
Committee did not find any justification for granting any
relief to the Defendant No.6. However, purely as a matter of
tactical step, the Defendant No.6 obtained letter No. MR/9042
dated 18-01-2005 (Annex-P at page 235 of PLA in C.O.S
No.18/2005) wherein it is stated that the Committee has
‘Noted’ that you (Diamond Industries Limited) and ABL
have agreed to settle the outstanding liabilities as mentioned
therein. In fact there was no such settlement whatsoever
between the Defendant No.6 and the Plaintiff Bank. In fact no
valid dispute existed. Wholly false representation was made
by the Defendant No.6 and only ‘Noted’ by the Committee.
To reiterate it is wholly incorrect to state that any
agreement was reached between the Defendant No.6 and the
Plaintiff Bank. Only ‘Noting’ by State Bank of Pakistan has
no legal force. This was due to some misunderstanding and
misrepresentation by the Defendant Company. It is neither
factually correct nor legally enforceable nor has it any value
whatsoever.
c) As submitted above there is no concept of writing off of the
‘principal’ amount. In the present case enough security is
available with the Plaintiff Bank for realization of its debts
from the Defendant No. 6 for which purpose the suit has been
filed. The correct position was conveyed to the Defendant No.
6 vide letter dated 05-05-2005 Mark-B. A copy of State Bank
Pakistan BSD Circular No.2/99 dated 16-07-1999 which
governs such a situation is enclosed as Mark-C with this
reply to application for Leave to Defend.
It is further submitted that vide the aforesaid BPD
Circular No.2 of 1999 dated 16 July, 1999, State Bank of Pakistan
almost prohibited write off of loans, any claim by the Defendant
No.6 with regard to writing off of the principal amount is therefore
factually incorrect and legally untenable. There was no reason
whatsoever for writing off any portion of the principal amount.
Neither could any functionary make any such concession in that
behalf nor was there any consideration or reason for the same. Any
claim by the Defendants that any amount was to be written off is
without any factual and legal basis and the averments made need
summary rejection.
26. Denied vehemently. Furthermore, titled suit has been filed for recovery of
over dues and not as retaliation of any notice.

Mohib Fabrics Industries Limited and others……. Respondents
APPLICATION on behalf of Decree-holder (PICIC) under Section 19 of the Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001 read with Section 151 CPC and all other enabling provisions of law for sale of the Machinery etc. of the Judgment Debtor No.1 (MFIL) by inviting sealed Tenders/Bids.
Respectfully Sheweth:-
1. That the titled execution petition is pending adjudication before this Hon’ble Court. That by the order dated 6-5-99, this Hon'ble Court was pleased to appoint Mr. Gulzar Hussan, Advocate and Mr. Sharif Butt, Advocate, as Court-Auctioners to sell through public auction the assets of the judgment-debtors both immovable and movable as specified in the Fard Taleeqa attached with the titled Execution Petition.
2 That the titled suit was decreed on 10-12-1998 and titled Execution Petition was
filed in March, 1999 and was fixed for hearing first time on 10-3-99 but the
Decree dated 10-12-1998 remained unsatisfied as the assets of the Judgment-
debtors have not been sold so far causing colossal loss to the Decree Holder.
3. That the Applicant/Decree Holder has not been able to recover its decretal amount
so far. Sale of land and building of Judgment Debtor No.1 may take some time.
However, the machinery/plant etc of the Judgment Debtor No.1 financed by the
Applicant and under its exclusive charge can be sold efficaciously by the Court
Auctioneers by inviting sealed tenders as provided under Section 19 of the
Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001(hereinafter
referred to as "the Ordinance of 2001"). The land and building of Judgment
Debtor No.1 may be subsequently sold by the Court auctioneers.
4. That in case machinery/plant of Judgment Debtor No.1, specified in the Fard
Taleeqa attached with the titled Execution Petition and also specified in Mark-A
hereto, are allowed to be sold by inviting sealed tenders, the Applicant/Decree
Holder shall be able to satisfy its Decree at least in part avoiding further loss.
5. That in view of the above facts, it would be in the interest of justice if the Court
Auctioneers are allowed to sell the machinery/plant of Judgment Debtor No.1 that
is under exclusive charge/mortgage of the Decree Holder/Applicant, through
inviting sealed tenders instead of public auction.
It is, therefore, respectfully prayed that Hon'ble Court may be pleased:
(i) to direct the Court Auctioneers to sell the machinery/plant as per Mark-A
belonging to the Judgment Debtor No.1 and exclusively hypothecated/mortgaged
with the Decree Holder, through inviting sealed Tenders/Bids as envisaged and in
the manner specified in Sub-Sections (3), (4), (5) & (6) of Section 19 of the
Ordinance of 2001 and to allow appropriation proceeds thereof towards partial
satisfaction of the Decree dated 10-12-1998;
(ii) to grant to the Decree Holder any other relief which this Hon'ble Court may deem
fit and appropriate.

APPLICATION ON BEHALF OF DECREE HOLDER (PICIC) UNDER SECTION 19 OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
(RECOVERY OF FINANCES) ORDINANCE, 2001 READ WITH ALL OTHER ENABLING PROVISIONS OF LAW
Respectfully Sheweth:-
2. That the titled execution petition is pending adjudication before this Hon’ble Court. That by the order dated 6-5-99, this Hon'ble Court was pleased to appoint Mr. Gulzar Hussan, Advocate and Mr. Sharif Butt, Advocate, as Court-Auctioners to sell through public auction the assets of the judgment-debtors both immovable and movable as specified in the Fard Taleeqa attached with the titled Execution Petition.
2. That the Applicant/Decree Holder has not been able to recover its decretal amount
so far. Sale of land and building of Judgment Debtor No.1 may take some time.
However, the machinery/plant etc of the Judgment Debtor No.1 financed by the
Applicant and under its exclusive charge can be sold efficaciously by the Court
Auctioneers by inviting sealed tenders as provided under Section 19 of the
Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001(hereinafter
referred to as "the Ordinance of 2001"). The land and building of Judgment
Debtor No.1 may be subsequently sold by the Court auctioneers.
3. That in case machinery/plant of Judgment Debtor No.1, specified in the Fard
Taleeqa attached with the titled Execution Petition and also specified in Mark-A
hereto, are allowed to be sold by inviting sealed tenders, the Applicant/Decree
Holder shall be able to satisfy its Decree at least in part avoiding further loss.
4. That the Applicant earlier filed C.M. No.739-B/2001, which is still pending,
wherein permission was sought from this Honourable Court to sell the
machinery/plant of Judgment Debtor No.1 through inviting sealed tenders/bids in
accordance with law. However, no order on the said application has as yet been
passed. The matter has assumed some urgency in view of the fact that the
Applicant has located potential buyers for the purchase of the machinery,
including certain overseas parties who are present in the country for the purpose
of inspection/evaluation. If appropriate orders are not passed by this Honourable
Court, it is apprehended that an opportunity to dispose of the machinery at an
excellent price shall be missed and in this manner the interests of the Decree
Holder/Applicant shall suffer tremendously.
It is, therefore, respectfully prayed that Hon'ble Court may be pleased:
(iii) to direct the Court Auctioneers to sell the machinery/plant as per Mark-A
belonging to the Judgment Debtor No.1 and exclusively hypothecated/mortgaged
with the Decree Holder, through inviting sealed Tenders/Bids as envisaged and in
the manner specified in Sub-Sections (3), (4), (5) & (6) of Section 19 of the
Ordinance of 2001 and to allow appropriation proceeds thereof towards partial
satisfaction of the Decree dated 10-12-1998;
(iv) to grant to the Decree Holder any other relief which this Hon'ble Court may deem
fit and appropriate.
Any other order deemed fit and appropriate may also be kindly passed.

Holder, proceedings in the titled Execution Petition are liable to be stayed

neither suspended operation of the aforesaid Interim Decree dated 27-11-

Petition due to the fact that the said property is situated in Mirpur Azad
Jammu & Kashmir. Denied that the said property does not fall within the
jurisdiction of this Honourable Court as alleged. The Judgment Debtor had
voluntarily put in its appearance before this Honourable Court and
contested the titled suit on merits. Therefore, under the law the Judgment
Debtor cannot be allowed to turn back and deny jurisdiction of this

submitted that even through the aforesaid First Appeal No. 88/2007 legality

ground that the Honourable Single Bench of this Honourable Court lacked
territorial jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the titled suit or to pass the said

per section 11(2) of the Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances)

Accordingly, law permits this Honourable Court to make sale of the
property (admittedly mortgaged with the Decree Holder), in execution of
the Interim Decree dated 27-11-2006. Therefore, it is denied that the sale of
the property that is the subject matter by this Honourable Court is being
made without judicially deciding the case. Denied that the sale of the said
property by this Honourable Court without deciding PLAs filed by the
Applicant/Judgment Debtor and other Defendants would cause any
injustice to the Applicant/Judgment Debtor as alleged.
